Description
Three cups and three balls are set down in a line. One of the balls is placed on top of the centre cup and the other two cups are placed on top. The magician makes a magical gesture and the cups are lifted to reveal that a ball has penetrated the cup. Again the cups are set in a line, the centre cup covering the ball which has already penetrated. Another ball is placed on top of the centre cup and the other two cups are placed on top. The cups are lifted to show the second ball has penetrated. This is repeated with the third ball and finally all three balls are shown to have penetrated the cup.
